Conservative revolt against Mitt the RomneyCare RINO

Opinion--The term 'RINO' stands for 'Republican in Name Only.' It is somewhat of a misnomer due to the fact that whoever wants to belong to a political party can do so, regardless of whether or not they agree with the party's platform and philosophy.

No one is suggesting that Mitt Romney is not a Republican. He is. But so are Susan Collins, Olympia Snowe, Lisa Murkowski, and Scott Brown, all of whom have proved by their votes that they are more in line with liberals and the ideals of the Democratic Party than with conservatives.

The reason, thus, that such persons are called RINOS is that it is a moniker that has stuck, in reference to those Republicans who can be counted on to oppose conservative principles.

Thus, Mitt is a RINO. And he pushed for and got a program in Massachusetts, 'RomneyCare,' that one and all among political insiders agree is the blueprint for ObamaCare.

But that isn't Mitt's only problem.

Issa threatens Holder with contempt

In a breaking news story reported by Fox, Congressman Darrell Issa, R-California, has threatened Attorney-General Eric Holder with contempt in the continuing investigation into the Operation Fast and Furious scandal.

Breaking news on the Fast and Furious scandal

In the run up to Eric Holder's testimony before Congress this Thursday on the Fast and Furious scandal, a series of breaking news stories has surfaced on the flurry of activity and maneuvering of the parties involved.

First, investigative reporter Mike Vanderboegh, who first broke the Fast and Furious story in December of 2010, has uncovered a series of emails linking high level ATF officials with the most virulent anti-gun activists in the nation.

Why is this information damaging?

To tell the truth prior to Florida primary vote

Tomorrow Florida Republicans will go to the polls to choose the candidate they prefer to face Barack Obama in the 2012 Presidential election this November. At stake are Florida's 50 delegates to the GOP convention in the summer.

Florida's system is a winner takes all approach to appropriating delegates. Thus, whoever wins will take all 50 delegates to the convention.

Polls have shown movement in favor of Mitt Romney in recent weeks, although after the South Carolina primary Newt Gingrich emerged with a nine point lead. Gingrich's lead was erased due to a multi-million dollar deluge of negative ads by Romney, claiming that Newt "resigned from the House in disgrace due to ethics violations." 

Today this writer did a special radio broadcast delineating the facts concerning the ethics complaints against Gingrich, the background of the charges, and the results of a 3 year IRS investigation into the matter.

Holder to testify this week on damaging new information

U.S. Attorney General Eric Holder will testify this week before the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform on the scandal known as 'Operation Fast and Furious,' or 'Project Gunwalker.'

Central to committee chairman Darrell Issa's questioning of Holder will be new information in the latest Friday night document dump that shows the Attorney General knew about the illegal operation early on, including bombshell information surrounding the murder of Border Patrol agent Brian Terry in December of 2010.

Fact checking Romney's attacks on Gingrich

In a series of television ads and speeches in Florida in the run up to the state's Republican primary on Tuesday, Mitt Romney has launched a series of serious attacks against Newt Gingrich that have had a definite impact on the race. Gingrich's nine point lead has evaporated, and Romney is now in the lead by 11 percentage points, according to several polls released Friday.

Romney used the very same tactic in Iowa to obliterate Gingrich's lead.

Few, however, in the news media or among the political pundits have done any fact checking on Romney's charges against Gingrich. And when they have done so, it was only in a cursory fashion along with the excuse that campaigns always go negative on whoever is perceived to be the front runner.

But Romney's charges are very serious and they have been very effective, which begs the question, "Are they true?"

A look at two of the most serious of Romney's claims will prove to be very telling.

Friday night document dump contains damaging info on Holder

In an unannounced late Friday night document dump last evening, the Justice Department, at the direction of the White House, released 500 pages of material on the Operation Fast and Furious scandal, also known as Project Gunwalker. The documents contain information indicating that the White House is now willing to sacrifice Attorney-General Eric Holder in order to protect itself.

Until now the White House has engaged in a not so subtle effort to protect Holder, believing that if Holder is taken down, the Obama White House goes down with him. Apparently that tactic has changed.

The call for Fox to bring back Glenn Beck

According to James Simpson in an article at American Thinker yesterday, a major call has been issued for Fox News to bring back Glenn Beck. The reason is the backlash against the growing influence of global financier George Soros at the network.

Not only has Simpson issued a call for the return of Beck but an entire movement has been spurred in support of the idea of Beck's resurrection at Fox in order to provide a counter balance to the growing influence of George Soros.

Breaking--Issa's Inaction: Is the Fix In?

Earlier today is was reported that Congressman Darrell Issa had fired off a letter to Attorney-General Eric Holder demanding that the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform have access to at least 3 DOJ officials who either have been shielded from the committee or have pleaded the 5th.

Issa's committee is investigating the gargantuan scandal of 'Operation Fast and Furious' that now engulfs the Holder Justice Department and much of the Obama Administration.

However, if appearances are to be trusted, it would seem that other than Issa's letter, the response of the committee to the scandal of late has been characterized by inaction, thus begging the question, "Is the fix in?"

Breaking Fast and Furious news--Issa makes demand of Holder

Just minutes ago Congressman Darrell Issa, R-California, Chair of the House Committee on Oversight and Government Reform, issued an announcement of a letter he has sent to Attorney-General Eric Holder demanding that he give the Committee access to Assistant U.S. Attorney Michael Morrissey concerning his role in the Operation Fast and Furious scandal.

Issa is investigating the scandal in the U.S. House of Representatives. But for over a year the Attorney-General has stonewalled Issa and U.S. Senator Charles Grassley on information they have requested to advance their investigation into the scandal during which the ATF and its parent, the Department of Justice, deliberately sent thousands of U.S. guns to Mexican drug cartels in order to 'prove' that '90% of the guns used by Mexican criminals come from the United States.'

The letter from Issa states the following...
